In crafting activities and programs to serve participating students and adult family members, centers funded by the 21st CCLC program have implemented a wide spectrum of program delivery, staffing, and operational models to help students improve academically as well as socially. In this report, data collected through the 21st CCLC Profile and Performance Information Collection System (PPICS) have been synthesized to further inform an improved understanding of the intersection of program attributes and student achievement outcomes for children who participate in 21st CCLC programs. An Annual Performance Report (APR) is completed by grantees through PPICS once a year to summarize the operational elements of their program, the student population served, and the extent to which students improved in academic-related behaviors and achievement. The core purpose of the APR is to collect information on the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) performance indicators associated with the 21st CCLC program. These metrics, described in greater detail in this report, represent the primary mechanism by which the federal government determines the success and progress of the 21st CCLC program against clearly-defined, statutorily-based requirements.Key findings of this report include:A total of 4,100 grantees representing 10,188 centers reported annual performance report data for 2010-11. These centers served a total of 1,873,290 students, with 897,642 of these attending 30 days or more.Fifty-nine to 69 percent of centers from 2005–06 to 2010-11 served elementary students in some capacity, approximately 20 percent exclusively served middle school students, and 5 percent to 13 percent exclusively served high school students. The percent of programs serving exclusively high school students has risen year-over-year since 2006, from five to six to eight to ten to twelve percent of programs.A total of 274,364 adult family members were provided with services in 2010-11. That is an increase from the 253,283 adult family members served in 2009-10, as well as an increase from the 213,552 adult family members served in 2008-09. In 2005-06, 199,489 adult family members were served, 210,857 in 2006-07, and 223,042 in 2007-08, making the number of adult family members served in 2010-11 the highest in six years.School Districts (SD) were the largest grantee organization category, accounting for approximately 60 percent of all grantees. Community Based Organizations (CBO) were the second largest grantee organization group accounting for 20 percent of grantees. Taken together, CBOs and Nationally Affiliated Nonprofit Agencies (NPAs) accounted for a quarter (25 percent) of all grantees.Approximately 86 percent of all centers are SDs; around seven percent are CBOs or NPAs.A total of 176,135 school year staff were reported. Of these, 40,992 were identified as volunteer staff.School-day teachers account for the largest percentage of paid staff at 45 percent. Non-teaching school staff account for the second largest at approximately 12 percent. For volunteer staff, college students account for the largest percentage at 24 percent with community members second at 19 percent. Similar trends are seen for other years.States have some flexibility in reporting GPRA-related data. For 2010-11, 50 percent of states provided grades data, 50 percent provided state assessment data, 79 percent provided teacher survey data, and 100 percent provided activity data.Nearly all of the performance targets for the 2010–11 reporting period were not reached. For the range of indicators related to regular attendee improvement in student achievement and behaviors, the only indicators where the performance target was reached were Measure 1.7 The percentage of elementary 21st Century regular program participants who improve from not proficient to proficient or above in reading on state assessments, and Measure 1.8 The percentage of middle and high school 21st Century regular program participants who improve from not proficient to proficient or above in mathematics on state assessments.Section 1: Grantee and Center CharacteristicsGrantee TypeOne of the hallmarks of the 21st CCLC program is that all types of entities are eligible to apply for State-administered 21st CCLC grants, including, but not limited to, school districts, charter schools, private schools, community-based organizations, nationally affiliated nonprofit organizations (e.g., Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCAs, etc.), faith-based organizations, and for-profit entities. These applicants are referred to in this report as grantees. As shown in Table 1, School Districts (SD) were the largest grantee organization category every year from 2005-06 to 2010-11, accounting for more than 58 percent of all grantees each year. Community Based Organizations (CBO) were the second largest grantee organization group accounting for more than 15 percent of grantees each year. It should also be noted that Nationally-Affiliated Non-Profit Agencies (NPAs) like Boys and Girls Clubs and YMCAs/YWCAs accounted for more than 4 percent of grantees each year. Taken together, CBOs and NPAs accounted for over 19 percent of all grantees each year. Table 1.

Center types include school districts, charter schools, private schools, community-based organizations, nationally affiliated nonprofit organizations (e.g., Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCAs, etc.), faith-based organizations, and for-profit entities. As shown in REF _Ref248832346 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 2, approximately 86 percent of centers were housed in school district buildings in 2010-11. Approximately 5 percent of centers were housed in community-based organization buildings in 2010-11, making this the second largest category. All other categories are at less than 3%.

In addition, students who attend 30 days or more are considered to be in a special category called regular attendees. As shown in REF _Ref248861375 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 3, there were 1,873,290 students who attended 21st CCLC programming in 2010-11. Of those, 897,642 or 48 percent were regular attendees.Table 3: Total and Regular Attendee Students per YearAPR YearTotal StudentsTotal Regular Attendee Students20061,433,713795,95520071,388,776753,30720081,416,154757,96220091,506,920754,33820101,660,945808,71020111,873,290897,642 REF _Ref248861884 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 4 shows where students participated in 21st CCLC activities by center type.

Almost ninety percent of all regular attendees in 2011 attended programming in centers housed in school district (SD) buildings. Community-Based Organization (CBO) centers accounted for the second highest percentage of regular attendees at just over 3 percent.

As shown in REF _Ref248862930 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 5, 274,364 adult family members were provided with services in 2010-11. With the exception of a slight decline in 2008-09, this number has increased every year.Table 5: Family Members Served200620072008200920102011Family Members Served199,489210,857223,042213,552253,283274,364Activity ClusterThe mission of the 21st CCLC program is to provide academic and other enrichment programs that reinforce and complement the regular academic program of participating students. Generally, this broad mandate encompasses a host of different types of activities, including the following activity categories:Academic enrichment learning programsTutoring Supplemental educational servicesHomework helpMentoringRecreational activitiesCareer or job training for youthDrug and violence prevention, counseling, and character education programsExpanded library service hoursCommunity service or service-learning programsActivities that promote youth leadershipGiven the wide range of activities that an individual 21st CCLC could provide, a series of “activity clusters” were identified based on the relative emphasis given to providing the categories of activities listed previously during the 2005–06, 2006-07, 2007–08, 2008-09, 2009-10, and 2010-11 school years. To do this clustering, 21st CCLC activity data were used to calculate the percentage of total hours of center programming allocated to each of the activity categories. This was done by multiplying the number of weeks an activity was provided by the number of days per week it was provided by the number of hours provided per session. These products were then summed by activity category for a center. The center-level summations by category were then divided by the total number of hours of activity provided by a center to determine the percentage of hours a given category of activity was offered. Based on the results of these calculations, the following question can be answered: What percentage of a center’s total activity hours was dedicated to academic enrichment, tutoring, homework help, etc? In order to further summarize these data related to the 21st CCLC activity provision, K-Means cluster analysis was employed using the center-level percentages for each category of activity. Cluster analysis is typically employed to combine cases into groups using a series of variables as criteria to determine the degree of similarity between individual cases, and it is particularly well-suited when there is a desire to classify a large number of cases into a smaller domain of discrete groupings. In this case, employing cluster analysis resulted in the identification of five primary program clusters defined by the relative emphasis centers placed on offering one or more programming areas during the course of the 2005–06, 2006-07, 2007–08, 2008-09, 2009-10, and 2010-11 school years. Following are the five clusters: Centers mostly providing tutoring activities Centers mostly providing homework help Centers mostly providing recreational activities Centers mostly providing academic enrichment Centers providing a wide variety of activities across multiple categoriesIt is important to note that the data used to assign centers to program clusters were available only from states that employed the individual activities reporting option in PPICS for the 2005–06, 2006-07, 2007–08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and/or 2010-11 reporting periods. For clarification, one of the foundational design elements of PPICS was to construct a system made up of two primary types of data: (1) data that would be supplied by all 21st CCLCs and (2) data that could vary based on a series of options afforded to SEAs to customize the APR to meet the unique data and reporting needs of the state. Activities data collected in PPICS is an example of the latter approach. In this case, states supply data using (1) an aggregated approach in which sites identify the typical number of hours per week a given category of activity was provided or (2) an individual activities approach in which each discrete activity provided by a center (e.g., a rocketry club that met from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. each Tuesday and Thursday for eight weeks during the school year) is added to the system as a separate record. The cluster analysis described in this report relies on data supplied by states that required their grantees to report activities data through the individual activities reporting option (22 states in 2005–06, 27 states in 2006-07, 26 states in 2007–08, 25 states in 2008-09, 26 states in 2009-10, and 29 in 2010-11).As shown in Figure 2, the relative distribution of centers across each cluster type was found to be somewhat stable across reporting periods, with the majority of centers falling in either the Variety or Mostly Enrichment cluster. A fifth of centers were classified as falling within either the Mostly Homework Help or Mostly Tutoring clusters, while about 20 percent of centers in each year were identified as providing Mostly Recreation programming.

Some are paid, while others serve as volunteers. As shown in Table 6, for the 201011 school year, school-day teachers account for the largest percentage of paid staff at 45 percent. Non-teaching school staff account for the second largest at approximately 12 percent. As for volunteer staff, college students account for the largest percentage at 24 percent with community members second at 19 percent.

Each of these staff categories are a combination of the different staff types above. As shown in Figure 3, five primary staffing models were identified:Centers staffed mostly by school-day teachers Centers staffed mostly by a combination of school-day teachers and other school staffCenters staffed mostly by college students and school day teachersCenters staffed mostly by youth development workers and school-day teachersCenters staffed by other staff with some or no college and school-day teachersNote that teachers, at least to some extent, were involved in each of the staffing clusters outlined in Figure 3, although the degree of involvement varied significantly from one cluster to the next. For example, on average, centers falling within the Mostly Teachers cluster had school-day teachers making up 77 percent of their school year staff. By comparison, centers identified as falling within the Mostly Youth Development Workers and School Day Teachers and Mostly Other Staff with Some or No College were both found on average to have 17 percent of their school-year afterschool staff made up of school-day teachers. Centers staffed by Mostly School-Day Teachers and Other School Staff and Mostly College Students and School-Day Teachers had average rates of teacher involvement of 20 percent and 26 percent, respectively.Figure SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 3.

Here again, an effort also was made to explore how likely it was that a center would move from one cluster to another between the years (starting with 2007-08 due to the fact very few centers had cluster designations for both 2006-07 and 2010-11). In this case, it was found that 39 percent of centers moved from one cluster to another between 2007–08 and 2010–11, 38 percent of centers moved from one cluster to another between 2008-09 and 2010-11, and 34 percent of centers moved from one cluster to another between 2009-10 and 2010-11.Grade Level ServedStudents and Grade LevelTable 7 shows the number of students served per grade level in 2010-11. The distribution is broad with grades 3 through 7 having the highest total number of students attending. Each of those grades account for approximately 9 percent of all student attendees. Students who attend programming for 30 days or more, are considered to be in a special category called regular attendees. As shown in Table 7, grades 2 through 6 have the highest number of regular attendees with each grade level accounting for over 9 percent of all regular attendees.Table 7.

A sixth Other category includes centers that did not fit one of the other five categories, including centers that served students in elementary, middle, and high school grades. Only the grade level of students considered regular attendees were used for the category assignments in this report.As shown in Figure 4, 59 percent to 69 percent of centers in 2005–06, 2006-07, 2007–08, 2008-09, 2009-10, and 2010-11 served elementary students in some capacity, approximately 20 percent exclusively served middle school students, and 5 percent to 13 percent exclusively served high school students.Figure SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 4.

The GPRA indicators, outlined in REF _Ref240449512 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 8, are a primary tool by which ED evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of 21st CCLCs operating nationwide relative to two primary objectives defined for the program. Participants in 21st Century Community Learning Center programs will demonstrate educational and social benefits and exhibit positive behavioral changes (indicators 1.1 to 1.14).21st Century Community Learning Centers will develop afterschool activities and educational opportunities that consider the best practices identified through research findings and other data that lead to high-quality enrichment opportunities that positively affect student outcomes (i.e., use highly qualified staff; offer afterschool programs every day and on weekends; structure afterschool curriculum on school-based curriculum, etc.). Also, in addition to the indicators identified in Table 8, it is important to note that ED has established a series of efficiency indicators for the program as well, which are assessed using information collected directly by ED outside the domain of PPICS. These efficiency indicators relate to the formal processes employed by ED program staff to monitor SEA implementation of the program:The average number of days it takes the Department to submit the final monitoring report to an SEA after the conclusion of a site visit. The average number of weeks a State takes to resolve compliance findings in a monitoring visit rmation related to ED and SEA performance relative to these measures is not provided in this report.This section of the report provides a summary of the status of the performance indicators based on data collected as part of the 2010–11 APR and discusses how performance relative to these indicators has varied across the past four reporting periods.Table 8. 21st CCLC GPRA Performance IndicatorsGPRA Performance IndicatorsMeasure?1.1?of?14: The percentage of elementary 21st Century regular program participants whose mathematics grades improved from fall to spring. ?Measure?1.2?of?14: The percentage of middle and high school 21st Century regular program participants whose mathematics grades improved from fall to spring. ?Measure?1.3?of?14: The percentage of all 21st Century regular program participants whose mathematics grades improved from fall to spring.Measure?1.4?of?14: The percentage of elementary 21st Century regular program participants whose English grades improved from fall to spring. ?Measure?1.5?of?14: The percentage of middle and high school 21st Century regular program participants whose English grades improved from fall to spring. ?Measure?1.6?of?14: The percentage of all 21st Century regular program participants whose English grades improved from fall to spring. ?Measure?1.7?of?14: The percentage of elementary 21st Century regular program participants who improve from not proficient to proficient or above in reading on state assessments. ?Measure?1.8?of?14: The percentage of middle and high school 21st Century regular program participants who improve from not proficient to proficient or above in mathematics on state assessments. ?Measure?1.9?of?14: The percentage of elementary 21st Century regular program participants with teacher-reported improvement in homework completion and class participation. ?Measure?1.10?of?14: The percentage of middle and high school 21st Century program participants with teacher-reported improvement in homework completion and class participation. ?Measure?1.11?of?14: The percentage of all 21st Century regular program participants with teacher-reported improvement in homework completion and class participation. ?Measure?1.12?of?14: The percentage of elementary 21st Century participants with teacher-reported improvement in student behaviorMeasure?1.13?of?14: The percentage of middle and high school 21st Century participants with teacher-reported improvement in student behavior. ?Measure?1.14?of?14: The percentage of all 21st Century participants with teacher-reported improvement in student behavior. ?Measure?2.1?of?2: The percentage of 21st Century Centers reporting emphasis in at least one core academic area. ?Measure?2.2?of?2: The percentage of 21st Century Centers offering enrichment and support activities in other areas. GPRA Indicator Results for 2010–11 REF _Ref240449648 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 9 provides an overall summary of the 21st CCLC program GPRA indicator data for the 2010?11 reporting period along with the performance targets for this period. Note that not all states collect each of the different types of indicator data. See Appendix for more detail.As REF _Ref240449648 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 9 shows, nearly all of the performance targets for the 2010–11 reporting period were not reached. For the range of indicators related to regular attendee improvement in student achievement and behaviors, the only indicators where the performance target was reached were related to the percentage of regular program participants improving from not proficient to proficient or above on math or reading state assessments.Table 9.

REF _Ref240449783 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 10 describes the overall performance of programs (without breakdowns by grade level) by reporting period across each of the GPRA indicator categories. The performance levels, based on attendance gradation for the two reporting periods in which data were collected in this manner, are also included. Note that in Table 10, two different state assessment-based measures are presented: (1) Improving represents the percentage of regular attendees who scored below proficiency on the assessment taken in the prior year that moved to a higher proficiency category during the reporting period in question, and (2) Attaining represents the percentage of regular attendees who moved from below proficiency on the prior year’s assessment to proficiency or above on the assessment taken during the reporting period. The difference between the two measures is that the Improving metric counts regular attendees as having improved even if they did not achieve proficiency based on state standards; the latter measure does not count these students as having improved even though they demonstrated a higher level of performance on the state assessment in question. The GPRA indicator calculation is based on the latter approach.Finally, REF _Ref240449783 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 10 demonstrates the positive relationship that appears between higher levels of attendance and the percentage of regular attendees witnessing improvement on a given outcome measure type. For example, during the 2005–06 reporting period, approximately 34 percent of regular attendees participating in 21st CCLC programming from 30–59 days that scored below proficiency on the 2005 state assessment in mathematics improved to a higher proficiency level in 2006. For regular attendees participating 90 days or more, this percentage was 46 percent. This result is largely replicated in 2006-07, 2007–08, 2008-09, 2009-10, and 2010-11 where the gap between the 30–59 day group and the 90 days or more groups was found to be 4 to 12 percentage points. This general finding is consistent across many of the impact categories and reporting periods in which attendance gradation data were collected. Table 10.

PPICS data offer information on the operation of the projects funded by 21st CCLC, which has proven useful in providing descriptive profiles of active 21st CCLC grantees:The program as a whole continues to fall below the established targeted performance thresholds associated with the GPRA performance indicators for the program. A rigorous study of the program may result in the development of more relevant GPRA measures. Grade improvement rates for 2010-11 dropped relative to the 2009-10, continuing a trend observed over the last several years. The reason or reasons for this decline are not clear. During the same period, however, a higher proportion of regular attendees maintained the highest grade possible. ReferencesBirmingham, J., Pechman, E. M., Russell, C. A., & Mielke, M. (2005).

States have discretion in PPICS to collect and report data on one or more of the following: changes in student grades, state assessment results, and teacher-reported behaviors. In addition, states are allowed some discretion in the manner in which information about the activities supported by 21st CCLC funding are reported. The following information is intended to provide clarification on the data underpinning each indicator calculation:The number of states that selected a given APR reporting option (i.e., grades, state assessment, and teacher survey). States are required to supply data for at least one of these categories as part of the APR process but could also opt to report any combination of these three categories.The total number of centers active during the 2010-11 reporting period across all states selecting a given indicator option.The extent to which centers associated with a given reporting option were found to have (1) provided actual data for the APR section in question and (2) met all validation criteria associated with that section of the APR and, thereby, are included in associated indicator calculations.The process of determining whether or not a given section of the APR is complete is predicated on a fairly complex set of validation criteria embedded in the PPICS application. It is important to note that for a given section of the APR related to performance reporting to be considered complete, not only does that section of the APR need to meet all validation criteria, but sections related to operations and attendance also need to pass a validation screen. These crosschecks help to ensure consistency across sections in terms of the data being provided, thereby enhancing the likelihood that the appropriate domain of activities and regular attendees are being reported in the appropriate sections of the APR. In addition, it is anticipated that for some sections of the APR related to GPRA indicator calculations, not all centers will be able to provide the requested information. This is seen most often in relation to the reporting of state assessment results, where some centers exclusively serve students in grade levels outside of those participating in the state’s assessment and accountability system. To a lesser extent, this also is true with the reporting of grades data in which a center serves students who attend schools that do not provide grades in a common format that would allow for aggregation in the APR reporting process. In addition, centers that operate only during the summer are not asked to provide grades or teacher survey information. In summary, grades, states assessment, or teacher survey data cannot be obtained from 100 percent of centers even in states that have selected those measures to report on. As shown in Table B.1, the percentage of centers that provided data relative to a given section of the APR and that met all validation criteria were high, with rates all above 77 percent.Table B.1.
